Hello chaps, not sure if GD is the best place for this. If there is a better place can a mod please move it?

I need to replace a capacitor on a ceiling fan, the one in question is;

The text on it is;

CBB61
1.5uF +- 5%
450V AC C
50/60Hz SH PO
25/085/21 08.01

Any advice on what and where I can get one. I have found one on amazon that looks the same but is 25/70/21 Which I believe is the ambient operating temp max and I am unsure if this matters.

Other things that I have tried and probably don't need mentioning;

1. Turned it on and off
2. Poo'd through its letterbox
3. Several hours of boxing stance
4. Got my dad, who kills queen wasps for a living to kill it
5. Killed it with fire
6. Mustard
7. Manned up
8. Opened a window
9. Hovis
10. Pulled my plonker on the hour, every hour

Many thanks

No clue about capacitors but the 10 point list made me giggle :)

I suspect that more people will spend time coming up with things that I didn't list than replies from electronic people. Its GD, its a risk and I can live with it ;):p
 
Thanks guys, it was just the ambient temp thing that was bothering me. The only other thing is that the one that I have (in the photo) is RED/BLUE and the one on amazon is RED/BLACK, does it matter which way they go in. Obviously I would think RED would be RED on both and BLUE/BLACK but.....
